Re: New to Group

[Guest guest]

Hi. I am new to the group. I have a 5 month old baby girl named Charlene

that was diagnosed with Plagio flattening on the back right side of her

head and Tort on the left side of her neck. We went for our casting

today and are supposed to get our helmet in 2 weeks. We are doing

stretches on her neck but I am confused as to what exactly the Tort is?

If she is laying on the back right of her head, why would there be

tightness in the left side of her neck? You'd think the left side of the

neck would be more stretched out instead... confusing.

I read all your emails and feel well informed and supported! I am

pretty sad about the whole thing and can't wait to get this over with

and it hasn't even started yet! I am glad I am not alone. I hate the

thought of people staring at my baby like there is something wrong and I

also hate the fact that doctors don't make more of an effort to tell

first time parents like me what can happen with their heads flattening

because of being on their backs.

Trying to hold back the tears here in California,
